c'mon... Brony stans, really?

So... isolation was only something that happened during MJ's era?

Isolation is something that is non-existent today, because there's this 'zone' defense that makes it impossible for people to drive.

The title of the first vid is 'James Harden [FONT="Arial Black"][COLOR="Red"]Isolation[/COLOR][/FONT] plays 2013-2014'.

I mean, f*ck a gif when we have an entire video.

And ma lawd, the paint is emptier than Oliver Miller's fridge.

This slow unathletic dude is dropping all these points on today's game, yet Allah won't destroy today's teams?

MJ vs the same defensive setup:

You literally just made this thread 3 days ago, with a very similar title too. No one who didn't click on that thread or reply is going to be any more interested in this one.

3ball won't make the same thread multiple times. He'll inject his thread into other ones which is so much funnier. A thread about a Wiggins post move had at least 2 or 3 Jordan posting up gifs (and one of LeBron thanks to Dubeta or something ). Any thread about LeBron, Kobe, dunking, anything, you're going to get the inevtiable 3ball gif series, like he has folders of them ready at any time.

The Illegal Defense rules enabled teams to put 4 guys behind the 3-point line and clear it out for an isolation

You mean like this:





In previous eras, teams had ZERO players behind the 3-point line because teams didn't shoot 3-pointers - in 1985, teams averaged two attempts per game, compared to 22 per game today.

So the setup above is characteristic of TODAY'S game, not previous eras - you never saw the above setup in previous eras.

Coaches were actually quite dumb in previous eras - not only did they not space the floor, but their approach of positioning offensive players inside the 3-point line and closer to the rim activated the legal paint-camping provision stipulated in Rule 2b of the Illegal Defense Guidelines - this rule allowed defenders to paint-camp with no time restriction if their man was in the paint already, or within 3 feet of either side.

I know you're known for your .GIFS but I've seen many, many video footage of similar isolation scenarios for Bron without even trying to look for it.

It is essentially 'Lebron ball 101'

Dude already using his right arm to push his defender even before start the dribble. Dat basketball skill. Lecrab, Lebrick, Lepushoff.
